The film centers on Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal), who recently started working as a night watch in the same forensics division where infamous psychotic police inspector Wörmer nearly killed her parents.

The incident precipitated the demise of her mother, and to numb the recollections, her father Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has resorted to tranquilizers.

Emma sets out to discover the truth, finds Wörmer, and confronts him, which only serves to exacerbate the already dire situation.
